If it’s a long look they want, the Winnipeg Jets are getting it and more when it comes to defenceman Jacob Trouba.
Jets coach Paul Maurice said a month ago it was time to increase Trouba’s minutes, even try him for an extended spell on the left side, Trouba’s off-side.
'I think just playing the left side in general is a little bit different for me. I haven't done that in a while but once you get the hang of it, it all comes back to you pretty quickly'-- Jacob Trouba
The 22-year-old third-year pro played 23 minutes 58 seconds on Wednesday night, adding to his recent totals that have ranged between 22 and 28-plus minutes in the last 11 games.
